You don't need any comercial product, as this partition is empty, all you need to do is: use fdisk to delete this partision (its an extanded partition on a logical one) and then use you linux setup or linux fdisk to set up 2 (or more) partisions in the (now) empty (un partitioned) space to set up atleast: 1. native linux partision 2. linux swap partition (use about 50MB if its a home system) I hope I helped, Nitzan.
